Fluval lists it against eight canister models spanning four generations — 304\/404, 305\/405, 306\/406 and 307\/407 — so one pack covers almost any 06 or 07 Series filter in the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Fluval A20117\u003c\/strong\u003e — moulded to the Aqua-Stop valve profile, so it seals without over-tightening a hose clamp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack of two\u003c\/strong\u003e — enough to redo the intake and output side of one filter in a single service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits eight filter models\u003c\/strong\u003e — 304, 404, 305, 405, 306, 406, 307 and 407 all take the same adapter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheap insurance against a slow weep\u003c\/strong\u003e — a perished or flattened adapter is the most common cause of a drip at the hose joint, well before the pump or seal is worn out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer part number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA20117\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSold as\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack of 2 adapters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePosition in filter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInside the Aqua-Stop valve, intake and output side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWater type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreshwater and marine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTools required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluval carries this adapter against its whole mid-size canister lineage, old and current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFilter model\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFluval model code\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTakes A20117\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e304\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA210\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e404\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA215\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e305\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA211\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e405\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA216\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e306\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA212\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e406\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA217\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e307\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA446\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e407\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA449\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 304 and 404 are earlier, discontinued models — this adapter is still current stock, so a filter that age is not orphaned.
